Abstract |
When the Revolutionary War began, Britain had a well-trained army and the world's most powerful navy. The American rebels had a ragtag army and no navy at all. Early on, most British officers had a very low opinion of their enemy. They were sure the Americans would quickly be beaten. That proved to be wrong. Here is the story of how the Americans defeated the mightiest empire in the world. |
